FCC okays improveddistress radio system.THE FEDERAL Communications Commission (FCC) has ap­proveda request by Governor FroilanC. Tenorio for the CNMI tooperate a Marine Radio Repeater System (MRRS) on Saipan.

Because of his concernfor the safetyof recreational boaters andlocal fishermen, Governor Tenorio requested a special FCCemergency authorization exemption to install the MRRS on Mt.Topochauwith abasestationlocated at the EmergencyOperationsCenter (EOC).

"I am very pleased 'with the FCC's quick action," said theGovernor, "and with the cooperation of the FCC and U.S. CoastGuard, we will see a reduction in the loss oflife and property withincreased coordination between search craft and the reduction ofman hours spent in emergency operations."

With the closest rescue center now located in Guam, the Gov­ernorstressed the importance of the MRRS to the CNMI saying,"Each time a boat is reported lost, we must charter commercial.aircraft and boats for search operations. Right now, many of theseboats do not meet the requirements for High Frequency'(HF)radio, and this has caused great difficulty in coordinating searchand rescue operations."

Until now, distress signals by boaters and fishermen have beentransmitted by marine radio to the EOC. However, because ofinterference from the mountainous terrain, radio signals from the

THE HOUSE of RepresentativeswiIIbe thoroughly evaluating theappointment of Leo LaMotte asCNMI Public Auditor, before hegets the chamber's approval asrequired under the law.

According to Rep. Oscar M.Babauta, chairman of the HouseCommittee on Judiciary & Gov­ernmental Operations, his com­mittee has been tasked by HouseSpeaker Diego T. Benavente toreview Lalvlottes nominationandcome up with a recommendationon what action the House shouldtake on the appointee.

LaMotte was appointed publicauditor by Governor Froilan C.Tenorio last July Ist but startedserving only very recently. Hereplaced former Public AuditorScott K. Tan who very recentlyhas been named in a theft andmisconduct in public office law­suit filed by the AttorneyGeneral's Office.

Under Section 12,Article III ofthe CNMI Constitution. the gov­ernor appoints the public auditorwith the advice and consent ofboth the House of Representa­tives and the Senate before he canserve in such capacity.

The important position of pub­lic auditor contrasts with othergubernatorialappointments in thatthe latter require confirmation

released as no bail was set 24hours following their arrest. Theywere re-arrested Monday and a$50,000 bail was set for their re­lease.

Naputi was released to Anto­nio Naputi, his uncle whileDeleon Guerrero was placed un­der the custody of his mother,Rosa.

A$50,000 unsecured bond wasset by the court for each of thedefendant. The court orderedthem to stay away from eachother and refrain from contact­ing each other.

They were told to surrendertheir travel documents, stay awayfrom sea ports and airports aswell as from M & F Store, andobey all laws. Naputi was or­dered to seek employment whileon release.

The government earlier rec­ommended a $50,000 propertybond as security for their courtappearance. DeRienzo opposed.any release with a bond, sayingmost money taken by the defen­dants were in the form of check.

He said most of the stolenmoney was returned to the po­lice, adding that checks can becancelled anytime.

Forelli has said a big amountof money was involved and thatonly $I0,000 was recovered.

Deleon Guerrero retainedDeRienzo as his counsel. Thecourt said a lawyer would beappointed for Naputi. Both arescheduled to appear in court nextweek for an arraignment.

Camacho, "with an intent to per­manently deprive the owner ofhis rights to the property," thegovernment alleged ina complaintfiled with the court last week.

The biggest number of roostersallegedly stolen by the defendantwas six and the animals belong toAlvaro Arriola Santos. The roost­ers, with a combined value of$950, were "unlawfully" takenalso in March.

BIas has also been accused oftaking two roosters with a valueof $1,000 from Edward CamachoPinaula between March 16 to 20.

On March 24, two roosters val­ued at $1,000 were also stolen,this time from Jesus TaitanoAldan. In about two days later,Vicente Camacho Castro lost histwo roosters with a value of$535to a thief. The government al­leged that it was BIas who hadtaken the fowls.

Two roosters, with a value of$750 and belonging to Daniel D.Babauta, were stolen on March28, according to the complaint.The latest incidence of theft in­volving a rooster occurred lastJune 29, the complaint said. Thefowl witha value of$200 isownedby Jun J. Castro. Again, the gov­ernment claimed Bias had takenthe roosters.

JERUSALEM (AP) - Israelis cel­ebratedtheblossomingpeacewithJordan as a pleasant summer fes­tival. with yachtsmen wavingflags near Jordanian waters andchildren sending balloons andkites across the frontier.

There was rare consensus infavor of advancing from closetcooperation with the Hashemitekingdom to the formal peacepromised by Prime MinisterYitzhakRabin andJordan's KingHusseinat theirWashington sum­mit.

But joy was tempered by keenawareness that the end of a cen­tury of Middle East conflict stillawaitsa deal with Syria - a realityemphasized Monday when Ira­nian-backedradicals killed an Is­raeli soldier and wounded 10 inan ambush in Lebanon.

crats, or even his own White House.This will prove especially true as the

battle heats up over the renewal of theEndangered Species Act. From the start,Babbitt has ratedthisashisholiest priority.Not since the disappearance of the dino­saurs has species extinction been such athreattogeneticdiversity, Babbittbelieves.

The ESA is threatened bya well-fundedcampaign by timber, mining, ranching anddevelopment interests who are lobbyingCongress- and the media-s-to water it.down or scuttle it altogether. Their pleasignore the fact that the landmark 1973legislation, which was once called the"crown jewel" of environmental protec­tions, hasdelivered asadvertised. Evidenceof that came just recently. when Babbittwas able to remove the once critically en­dangered baldeagle from protection underthe act.

Thanks to a campaign led by RushLimbaugh and Republicans in Congress,the ESA may literally go down a rat hole.Limbaugh hasbeenlampooning thefederalgovernment for saving a few endangeredkangaroo rats in California, and forpenal­izing the farmer who plowed them up indefiance ofgovernmentwarnings. Thecam­paign has been effective. While environ­mentalists once tugged at the public'sheartstrings bycallingfor theprotection of"sexy"endangered species likeeagles andwhales, right-wing forces are nowstokingpublic rancor by framing the issue aroundlessseductivespecieslikesalamanders andsnail darters.

"Now thefactis thatinalmost allofthesecases those critters are the warning flagsabouta system in which there'sa great dealelseat risk,"Babbitt says. Inresponse, heistrying to usherin anecosystem approach toland management, in which entire commu­nities of plants and animals would be re­stored orpreserved ratherthan fixating onasingle endangered species. It's anapproachthathas Western land-developers andcon­servative talk-show hosts worried todeath.

"Whatwe brought to town wasthiscon­ceptofecosystem management, which saysyou can no longer look at forty acres at atime," Babbitt says. "You've got to lookatthe whole system, because everything re­lates to everything else. The fences areartificial."

And so are the arguments of those whowon't be happy until Babbitt shows up attheWhite House gateinpajamas, ascenariothat looks increasingly more remote.

Babbitt just may have Interior fortitude

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND

WASHINGTON-Interior SecretaryBruce Babbitt-whose reading listtypi­callyincludes scientific tomes onsalmonspawning-has been plowing through ahistory of his predecessors borrowedfrom his agency's library. What he'sgleaned sofarmakes himwonder if he'snot, politically speaking, a threatenedspecies himself.

Interior chiefs have historically beenhounded and hated, just as Babbitt isnow in some quarters for promising a"brand new era in land management."Babbitt knows that at least two of hispredecessors at Interior have had ner­vous breakdowns-one appearing at theWhite House gateat night, clad only inpajamas, demanding that the presidentaccept his resignation on the spot.

Babbitt insists that he hasn't reachedhisbreaking point. "I loveit, and I ain'tgonna quit," Babbitt told us. "This de­partment hasbeen inthecrossfire---eversince the day it was established- be­tween theforces who wanted toseize thepublic land base and exploit it and the(conservationists). It hasbeen aconstanttheme through ISO years of the depart­ment."

At times, however, he sounds like aweary warrior Who has been issued anultimatum byWestern-state politicians:This region isn't bigenough for both ofus. Babbitt stands accused by his politi­cal opponents of waging a "war on theWest" -a hysterical charge manufac­tured by Republicans and special inter­ests seeking to preserve governmentsweetheart deals for mi ners, ranchersand loggers. If these are his foes, hisfriends are notmuch better. Some envi­ronmental groups assail his supposedlack of revolutionary ardor.

Babbitt has made enemies in bothcamps---environmentalists andbusinessinterests-by challenging the assump­tions of both. "I love being out on thefield and mixing it up," Babbitt says."The game around here, asWoody Hayesused tosay, is three yards anda cloudofdust. TheSierra Club crowd was saying,'He's -going tosuitupandthrow a longpass intotheendzone everytime hegetson thefield.' I know better."

Since the West will be the key battle­ground in elections this November, per­haps deciding whether Democrats retaincontrol of the Senate, Babbitt must ridealone. He can't count on many Demo-

DurandsaidinBellflower, Cali­fornia,theynotedaslightincreasein sales while a smokingbanwasin effect and a drop in sales fol­lowing its repeal.

He pointed out there are cur­rently no restrictions to smokingin restaurants in the CNMI.

Teregeyo's measure requiresseparation of smoking and non­smoking areas in restaurants andother public places.

"Second-handsmoke"hasbeenshown to increase lung cancer,heart attacks, and asthma in non­smokers who are exposed toil.

The bill calls fora restaurantof1,000 square feet or' less to beentirely non-smoking.

The measurelikewiseprovidesfor licensure of tobaccoretailers,prohibitions on the sale of to­bacco products to minors, theprominent display of identifica­tion of the prohibition of sale oftobacco products to minors, andthe levying of an increase in ex­cise tax on the sale of tobaccoproducts with provisions for theallocation of the generated rev­enue.

The DPHS earlier maintainedthat a large increase in tax ontobaccoresultsina largedecreasein the number of new teenagesmokers.

The directormaintainedthatbyincreasing productivity, "impor­tationofagriculturalproducts~illbe lessened and cash flow willremain whichis goodfor a stron­ger economy in the CNMI."

He said at present hotels arebuying fruits and vegetablesabroadwherein thelocalfarmers(if gi veri enough attention) couldeasily produce.

Sablan said what is needed issome kind of encouragement tothe farmers.

The DNR director cited thatthere is an existing government­ownedfarmplot for leaseto localfarmers in Kagman while twoother plots are being prepared inKagman and San Juan in Marpi.

The total area of the threeplotsis 137.5hectares.

Sablan likewise indicated thatconstruction of Kagman Water­shedProjecthasbeenstarted. Withits completion in three-year-pe­riod, the project is expected toprovide enough irrigationsupplyto the farms sinceit will comeupwith at least 70 milliongallons ofwater.

difference with the water situa­tion.

What's the. Best Way ToManage Ground Water?

Very slowly. Saipan receivesitswaterfromundergroundreser­voirs or aquifers. The water inthese aquiferscomesfromtherain.It takesup to 30 days for today'srain to trickle down through theearth into the aquifers. Becausetheaquifersconsistsof rainwater,they weigh less than the heaviersaltwater; and,thereforethe freshwater floats on top of the seawater. The best way to managethis limited water supply is toskimthefreshwateroff of the topof the aquifer. If residents de­mand more and more water, theutilityhasto pumpthewaterfasterand faster. That means the bestwateris pumpedup quickly leav­ing only the salty water.

CUC's Danny the DripKeepDanny...Drip

You Can Help. Conservethe Water So It's Preservedfor Tomorrow-

If residentsuse less water, thenthe public utility can pump thewateroutoftheaquiferata slowerrate. Thismeansthewateris freshinstead of salty. Another reasonnot to pump salt water is becauseit eatsawayat thecity pipesand itcorrodes the pipes inside yourhouse. Once the pipes leak, morewater is wasted. Residents thendemand the CUC pump morewater. The situation of pumpingmorewater to replace that waterthat has leaked starts a viciouscycle that results in more seriousproblems, like the destruction ofthefreshwatersuppliesonSaipan.

Tragedy continues for displaced RwandansCYANIKA, Rwanda (AP) •While the world's eyes are fixedon the plight of refugees in Zaire,another act in Rwanda's multi­faceted tragedy is being .playedout inside the ravaged nation.

In a camp sprawling over thehills around this village, 80,000·peoplelivein crude huts of sticksandleaves.Families huddle amidcemetery gravestones. The air isheavy with dust, smoke and thestenchof human waste.

Aidagenciesestimate some 1.2million displaced Rwandans areliving in similar camps in thesouthwesterncomer of the coun­try, the "security zone" protected

Many are sick. But most of all,they are frightened. They areHutuswhofled theadvanceof theTutsi-led Rwandan PatrioticFront, and they are terrified theFrenchwillpull out, leaving themat themercyof anew governmentformed by the rebels.

"I want to stay in my country,butif the French don't protect us,we will all go to Zaire," saidAlveraNtahitau, a mother of twosmall children. She has beenhomeless for three months sincerunningfromfightinginthesouth­ern city of Butare.

_frontierto Bukavu, turning it intoa second Goma, the Zairian bor­der town to the north that houses1.2millionRwandans.More than200,000 refugees already arecampedaround Bukavu.

"We will have a repeat of thecatastropheinGoma," saidJamesFennell of the international aidagencyCARE."A massiveinfluxwill completely overwhelm theaid community. We can only ex­pect yet more deaths on an enor­mous scale."

A steady flow of refugees hasbeentrekkingtoBukavufor morethan a week. Thousands trudgeeachdayalongthewindingmoun­tain road to the frontier.

But so far, the refugee streamhas not become a flood, mainlybecause the French presence hasgiven people confidence to stayin Rwanda. Still, they face direhardship.

Vietnam seeslower inflationHANOI, Vietnam CAP) - Viet­namstillexpectsto holdinflationbelow 10 percent for 1994, de­.spite a worrisome6.9 percentin­creasein prices in the year's firstsixmonths, anofficialreport saidMonday.

Stable food prices and indus­trial production should dampeninflationary pressures for the re­mainderof the year, the state-ronVietnam News Agency said. Abumper winter-spring rice har­vest and steady energy suppliesfrcrn the SOO-kilovolt North­South power line completed lastmonth should help critical com­modities keep up with consumerdemand, the News quoted LeXuan Trinh, director of the gov­ernment office, as saying lastweek.

Vietnam would succeed inkeeping inflation at less than 10percent if it boostedproduction,Trinh said. He added that theeconomyhadmetorsurpasseditsmaingoals for the first half of theyear.

Vietnam has reduced its infla­tion rate, whichreached775 per­cent in 1986, in each of the pastthree years. Inflation fell to 5.2percent in 1993.

Atthesametime,Vietnammustfight tax evasion in the privatesector to help raise the revenuesneededfor its budgetary require­ments, Trinhsaid.Revenues grewby 48 percent in this year's firsthalf fromJanuary-June 1993,butexpendi turesplannedfor thesec­ond six monthsare higher still.

By Stella WilderBorn today, you are likely to

display two strikingly differen ttemperaments at various timesthroughout your lifetime, andthough it will be virtually impossi­ble to control which is dominant atany given time you should learn toanticipate the shift from one to theother and, in such a way, avoid thehazards that might result if yousimply ignored the fact that youare, in many respects, two peoplein one. Surely, you will be widelymistaken for a Gemini native bythose who do not know you well.

On the one hand, you are sta­ble, confident yet unassuming, andthe portrait of calm control; on theother, however, you can be quiteirascible, insecure, volatile, andaggressive. At times modest andaf times boastful, you neverthelesshave many rare and lucrative tal­ents.
